Bounty Enchantment
Bounty Enchantment, a Fabric server mod, lets an enchantment on a weapon increase the experience that mobs drop when killed.
What it does
The enchantment raises the amount of experience a mob drops, and it is applied on the server side only, so clients need nothing installed. Its strength is set by multipliers for levels 1 through 5, which are stored in a bounty enchantment json file inside the server's config directory. Each level has an index, a multiplier and a maximum XP cap, and the cap keeps the XP per mob from exceeding the worth of a god particle.
The mod supports a server option that allows the offhand item to take part in enchantments. When it is set to true, the offhand can carry the bounty enchantment, and ranged weapons such as a bow can take over the enchantment when the item held in the main hand is not a melee weapon, while a sword in the main hand keeps its usual role. A debug option prints the calculated XP amounts to the server logs only.
Bounty Enchantment is released under the MIT License and is open source, with source code and an issue tracker linked from its listing. Files exist for 1.21.3 and 1.21.11, and the latest Fabric build, 1.0.1 for 1.21.11, was published on 2026-05-24. The mod was first published on 2025-11-03.
